Welcome to the Tennessee Governor's School for the Humanities on the web. 

 

A five-week summer program built on the program’s rich tradition as Tennessee’s first Governor’s School, this program offers rising high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to earn six semester credit hours from UT Martin.  GSH celebrates the expression of who we are, what we believe and the power of ideas in creating shared communities.

 

With 84 gifted and talented high school juniors and seniors from across Tennessee and dedicated faculty and staff, the 2008 Governor's School for the Humanities was very successful.  Scholars rated the overall program 4.87, with five being 'Excellent'.

 

The 2009 program is in the planning stages.  Details will be added when available.  You can browse our site, by visiting the links to the left.  To view the websites of other Tennessee Governor's Schools, click here.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Normally, we provide a five-week program for the Scholars, but due to the

State's economy and recent budget cuts, we have elected to condense our

program to four weeks. You will still receive the same quality education,

number of credit hours and overall experience as in a five-week program,

but you will not be away from your family and friends for quite as long.
